Spoiler:

In the comics he's infiltrating the whisperers to gain Alpha's trust, so he can get her on her own, and he kills her. IIRC he then takes her head back to Rick (who is still around in the comics) as a sort of "peace offering". In this case I'd imagine it would be Carol and Daryl.

[user104658]

I get where you're coming from but mostly only because of Glenn and Abraham, otherwise Negan's actions don't really come close to Alpha's heads-on-pikes. The main difference I guess is that if someone is killed "during a war" that can be somewhat justified. Negan was done by the end of S7... Killing him would have been an execution, it was a pivotal moment setting up what kind of society they want to be going forward.

Where do I even start with that mid season finale???!!!!

Spoiler:

Firstly it was brilliant.

I have wanted to see someone turn into a walker for such a long time and it finally happened again. I thought siddiq was still alive for a second and then realised what was happening. The fact he was about to eat his own baby was terrifying

Then onto Mary the Whisperer was she part of the plan of trapping them? I cant believe they all fell for it. How are they going to get out of there?!

Some really cute moments between Eugene and Rosita and Carol and Daryl

Father Gabes going absolutely mental on Dante? I wanted Dante to live a bit longer

Then onto the biggest sadness of mine. I hadnt even realised the mid season finale had come around. I thought there was one more episode left....but then when michonne was saying goodbye to Judith I realised what was happening....my favourite character was in her last ever scenes on the program and it was such a mediocre episode for her she spent most of it talking to one of the worst characters, Luke and looking around a library? And yeah she might have said goodbye to Judith but how has she not realised that she had already abandoned one of her kids and then abandoned him even more without saying goodbye

Rick must have a thing about neglectful mothers

Anyway yeah Im not happy she is gone

Also not too happy carol was so dumb to fall for Alphas plan

But a good episode nonetheless

Would have liked negan to make an appearance though

Also I think Lydia has had everyone fooled all along I think she is playing everyone and is still very much team alpha but we shall see...I was right about Dante so who knows

Edit: Just read online that michonne will be in the second half of the season...thankfully it wasnt her last episode

[Nicky91]

season 10 will resume (today in america, tomorrow for UK and also for me and plenty other dutch fans)

Negan gaining alpha's trust


but WTF Negan & Alpha having sex


Jerry having 2 near death experiences, also one moment he made me laugh ''practically him saying i'm too big for narrow spaces''


was a very good episode

[Niamh.]

Great episode, I was getting serious panics watching them crawl through those caves, I'm pretty claustrophobic though Carol is such a liability ffs

That scene with Negan and Alpha my eyes burn

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah alpha and negan was grim

[Nicky91]

that is part of a bigger plan, gaining alpha's trust


also Negan didn't really escape from Alexandria, haven't read spoilers myself (i mean from thespoilingdeadfans site) but my theory is Daryl had opened the cell door for him, i mean you need someone from the inside with the whisperers someone who can win over their trust and none of other Alexandria/hilltop group could manage to do that better than Negan with his own ''saviors'' experience

also was clever to take down Gamma like that


as for who'll die in that cave, hmmmm i kinda feel like Connie,

Spoiler:

in other promo footage you saw Daryl being quite sad, angry so i can see them killing off Connie rather than Magna, just to get Daryl into his most aggressive mode towards whisperers, and i kinda want a Daryl vs Beta fight part 2

In the comics it's a totally random character that dislikes Rick & co who lets Negan out of his cell, but that character doesn't even exist in the show and Daryl doesn't exist in the comics, so it could have been changed to be Daryl (though the motivation would be different; basically to save him from the Alexandrians who increasingly wanted him dead, as he "owed him one" for saving Lydia.

Spoiler:

I also think while it will still be Negan who kills Alpha, the reasons will be different in the show. In the comics he does it more or less in cold blood, because he wants to rejoin Alexandria and feels that he'll be accepted if he brings back Alpha's head. In the show I think Lydia will end up back with the Whisperers at some point and something will happen so that Alpha will attack her / want her hurt or killed (she might try to leave again, or sabotage them) and Negan will then kill Alpha to get Lydia out.

[Strictly Jake]

Is it part of gaining her trust though? Because he sure didnt initiate it and he sure as hell wouldnt have been able to say no without her cutting his testes off! So I think he had to kind of go along with it whilst probably enjoying it. I mean negan is a freak after all

[user104658]

Negan and Alpha sex scene is INSPIRED dark humour. A genuine scream

My wife doesn't watch any more which is just as well, because she finds spelunking (people squishing themselves through little caves FOR FUN ) absolutely horrifying. I'm not too bad with it but the part where poor Jerry got stuck was hard viewing . Although, when the smaller characters were having to squeaze through I have to amdit I was thinking, how will he fit?? And also why on earth was he trying to fit through with his equipment still on in the first place .

I mean... saying no would have put his life at risk... and not seeming into it would probably have put him in the bad books too, in an already dangerous situation. I think Negan was technically raped?

Jesus, I was literally starting to sweat and breath funny watching that. Anything where you can't turn around really freaks me out. That sound really terrifying. Actually when Gav was doing his training to be a firefighter, they would have to wear all the gear and BA tanks and go through tunnels like that.........I'd never be able to be a firefighter just for that part alone

I've seen spelunking videos where the space is so small that they have to have their arms by their side and just sort of shuffle forward using only their shoulders. HORRIBLE stuff

Yeah the cave part especially with Jerry was hard to watch, made me feel weird

[user104658]

In psych terms, I think there's probably a very strong instinctual reaction to seeing someone "stuck" or like they might get stuck, as the obvious lizard-brain reaction would be "If they're stuck, I could get stuck!" ... so probably a very strong "flight" reaction - you want to get far away from it and into open space as fast as possible.

Yeah makes sense

[Moniqua]

Spoiler:

loz

[Babayaro.]

Good start to the second half of the season.

However, last night's episode was quite dumb. If you're being realistic, Daryl and Beta both should have died. The opportunity to finish Beta off by shooting him in the head was right there, and Alpha had so much time to kill Daryl but instead decided to piss about. Make it make sense!!!


It's sadly obvious that they're setting Father Gabriel up to die come the end of the season.
